3 holes in boot floor

[pete carbery 0]

Hi all, looking for help to understand why my GTi has 3 holes in a line in the centre of my boot floor. They seem unrelated to the spare wheel carriage and as I need to do some welding and they need attention I am thinking of welding them up. Any ideas - photo below?

probably had a spare wheel anti theft bolt at some point in its life.

Thanks - interesting though as I recall back in the 90's spare wheel theft was a big thing. If that is the case I will probably weld them up and make good.
